Personal Profile
Li Yadong, male, Han nationality, was born in November 1964 in Susong County, Anhui Province. He is currently a professor in the Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University, a doctoral advisor, the director of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, and the director of the Academic Committee of the Department of Chemistry. He was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011, and he established an academician workstation at the University of Science and Technology of China in 2012.
He received the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in 2000, and was appointed as a “Distinguished Professor under the Changjiang Scholars Program” of the Ministry of Education in 2001. He has received several awards, including the First Prize of the Natural Science Award of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2000, the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award in 2001, the First Prize of the Beijing Science and Technology Award in 2006, and the Second Prize of the National Natural Science Award in 2008. He serves as the deputy editor of academic journals such as Nano Research and Chinese Science Bulletin, and as an editorial board member of Science China Series B: Chemistry, as well as an advisory board member of Inorg. Chem. and Chem. Mater.
His research focuses on the chemistry of inorganic nanomaterials synthesis, including the controlled synthesis and assembly of monodisperse nanocrystals, the preparation and formation mechanisms of one-dimensional nanomaterials, and the composites of noble metals with other metals and their catalytic applications. He proposed the liquid-solid-solution interface regulation mechanism for nanocrystals, achieving the controlled preparation of different types of nanocrystals. He successfully applied hydrothermal and solvothermal synthesis techniques to the synthesis of novel one-dimensional nanomaterials, achieving the preparation of nanowires and nanotubes of bismuth metals, titanates, silicates, vanadates, and rare earth compounds, and revealing the regularity of oriented growth of nanocrystals under liquid-phase conditions. He proposed the concept of apparent electronegativity of intermetallic compounds and alloys and their empirical calculation formula, establishing a low-temperature synthesis method that is 400-500 degrees lower than the traditional high-temperature synthesis of intermetallic compounds and alloy materials, and making new significant progress in the synthesis and preparation of intermetallic compounds and alloy materials of noble metals and other transition and main group metals.
Professor Li Yadong has supervised over 10 doctoral students, three of whom have received the National Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award, and two have been supported by the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. As an academic leader and chief scientist, he has led the Innovative Research Group Project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Key Research Program on Nanotechnology of the Ministry of Science and Technology. He has published more than 200 papers in international academic journals, including one in Nature, one in Science, 13 in JACS, and 17 in Angew. Chem. He has also written seven review articles upon invitation for journals such as Acc. Chem. Res. (2 articles) and Chem. Soc. Rev. (1 article). His papers as a corresponding author have been cited over 15,000 times.
